The Prayer of a Righteous Man is Powerful and Effective

Hello Friends and Family!

It's Peter writing my 2nd post. I've been exhausted after dinner (and I have awesome teammates who like to blog~) so I haven't posted much, but I hope you're getting a good idea of what ministry has been like during our time here. Today was our last day of ministry, and I just have one thought/request to share for now.

First, thank you so much for your prayers! This is my 6th overseas mission trip and it has been one of the most amazing trips I've ever been on. Our team unity has been phenomenal, we've had great partnership with the local staff, opportunities to share the gospel with hundreds of people (many of whom have never heard the good news before), and the list goes on and on. One of the things God impressed upon my heart for this trip was to rally as many prayer partners as possible. I have seen and felt the impact of your prayers for our team. Thank you for interceding on our behalf throughout this trip and for your faithful support!

Though our trip is coming to an end, please continue to pray for the team as 3 travel back to Houston, and 4 of us travel to Angkor Wat for site seeing. Please also continue to pray for those who have heard the gospel - that God would grow the seed that was planted & that the people would become followers of Jesus Christ who rejoice in Him and make His name known. Additionally, keep the staff and children of Home of Grace in your prayers as well. The work that God is doing in the orphanage is incredible and it is truly a testimony of God's faithfulness when we carry out His plans and leading. Pray for wisdom, strength, and love for the staff as they keep ministering to the children and villages; pray for God to raise up all of these children to become Godly men and women who proclaim Jesus Christ to their villages and families once they are adults... and that their joy and delight would be found in Christ alone. I can't express how much I adore the kids. I wish I could stay longer just to hang out and get to know them. We'll see whether God gives me another opportunity to return next year. I'm def open to it!

That's all for now. I'll probably post some closing thoughts after I have more time to reflect on this trip. We'd love to pray for you as well, so feel free to email/post any requests!

Blessings,

Peter
